There are two block diagrams available: 1) A high level, simplified diagram available at http://www.precisioninsight.com/dr/topper.jpg 2) A low level, detailed diagram available in low resolution at http://www.precisioninsight.com/dr/mini_poster.jpg and high resolution at http://www.precisioninsight.com/dr/poster.jpg > Secondly a Feature Checklist page for each graphics chipset / > graphics card (where apropriate) showing the HW features of each > card and whether or not they are implemnted in DRI / driver or the > status of said function. Good suggsestion. Two items to consider here: 1) Work with Frank Worsely regarding the content of the DRI site. He has been doing an excellent job in this area. 2) The biggest challenge for getting information for some of the drivers is identifying an owner. The 3Dfx driver for example, has a few developers submitting patches here and there; but hasn't changed much in over a year. There are other drivers in similar shape.
